5.3 Middleware Installation
The first step in the installation is to ensure all the necessary middleware is
installed and properly configured.The following sections describe how to do this.
5.3.1 Installing middleware overview
Before you can install IBM Maximo Asset Management Essentials, there are
several middleware products that must be deployed.
Specifically, you must install and deploy the following software:
Database server
Maximo Asset Management Essentials uses the Maximo database to store
details about the attributes and history of each configuration item and the details
about the relationships between configuration items.
You can manually install a new instance of DB2 UDB 9.1, or use a preexisting
instance of DB2 UDB 8.2 or DB2 UDB 9.1, or install and configure Oracle 10 or
MS SQL Server 2005 for your Maximo Asset Management Essentials
deployment.
Directory server
The directory server is used to secure the Maximo Asset Management
Essentials J2EE application. You have the choice of configuring a preexisting MS
Active Directory server. Note,this installation step is applicable only if you are
enabling J2EE security.
J2EE server
The J2EE server is the application server used to serve and manage the Maximo
Asset Management Essentials application.You must have an instance of BEA
WebLogic Server or IBM WebSphere installed in your environment.
